Brad Pitt Is Headed To China

Apparently Brad Pitt now has a Chinese Twitter account

. It is verified, so it really is him and he also says in his first Tweet that he is going to visit the country. He has been banned from visiting China since 1997, when Seven Years In Tibet was released. Time heals all wounds and also the thought of huge paychecks for doing commercials for Chinese companies had Brad kissing some serious butt. He says that he is now allowed to visit China again and that he is coming soon. He already has 140,000 followers and his Tweet has 14,000 comments.

I guess the Money there is talking big time to Mr Pitt. He's gotten so artsy fartsy, icing on the cake being those Chanel ads. I mean wtf?? I kind of used to like them as a couple but it's getting old. I do think the kids are cute though. Time will tell how they turn out with their vagabond upbringing.

China is inevitable for anyone who has any sort of international career. At some point, you're going to have to see someone about something over there somewhere, even if it's just Hong Kong (they HATE being called part of China but there it is). I have no hate for Brad about this. So many "upstanding" athletes (tennis, soccer, etc.), film folks, and business people have been dealing with China for years (hello, Olympics). I may not like China's pseudo-Communist government, but because of my job I've come to understand that they're pretty much unavoidable now.

Yep, Chanel ads Brad, really? What the hell Brad. Remember how Tibet is an enslaved nation? Have you forgotten all of your principles while you're chasing that almighty dollar or yen in your case. Sell out.

Taking up a cause is trendy with this crowd. Principles and facts have nothing to do with it. Even if their heart is in the right place, money wins ultimately. Brad has always done tons of international commercials and his face can sell products. China is interested and he gets a payday.

I just don't want to smell like either of them! Him and jolie are beginning to be more transparent as phonies. But if this commercial is anything like the chanel one you know chinese people are going to be reading the subtitles with a big "wtf?" thought bubble.

Whoever set that up doesn't "get" China then. He should've set it up on either Weibo or QQ. Sina's Weibo is 100x stronger in China than Twitter can be… It's got the numbers. I find it hard to believe that Pitt has PR people that don't do their homework.

The more I read about this, the more I think it's fake. Of all the photos of Brad Pitt, they use one that's something like half a decade old? And so what if Enty says it's "verified," it's not hard to put a check mark next to a name. I guess we'll have just have to wait and see.
